Silicone rubber and general rubber compared to all three major categories of silicone rubber with components are relatively simple, hot vulcanization type is also the case. In addition to raw rubber, with the agent mainly includes reinforcing agent, vulcanizing agent and some special additives, generally only need to have 5~6 components can be composed of practical formulations. Silicone rubber formulation design should take into account the following points.
(1) Silicone rubber for the saturation of the high degree of raw rubber, usually can not be vulcanized with sulfur, and the use of hot vulcanization. Hot vulcanization is an organic peroxide as a vulcanizing agent, so the rubber must not contain peroxide decomposition products with the role of active substances, otherwise it will affect the vulcanization.
(2) Silicone rubber products are generally used at high temperatures, and its matching agent should be kept stable at high temperatures, for this reason, usually choose inorganic oxides as reinforcing agent.
(3) Silicone rubber in trace amounts of acid or alkali and other polar chemical reagents easily caused by the action of siloxane bond cleavage and rearrangement, resulting in the reduction of heat resistance of silicone rubber. Therefore, in the selection of agents must take into account their acidity and alkalinity, but also should take into account the acidity of peroxide decomposition products, so as not to affect the performance of vulcanized rubber.
